CM Punk vs. Austin AriesGood match. The return of Corino after the match and the confrontation with Homicide was great fun though.***¼

Dan Maff and BJ Whitmer vs. Slash Venom and ChicanoThe only note worthy thing about this is Foley's ROH debut after the match. It's funny seeing the difference between him and Flair in ROH.¾*

Alex Shelley vs. Bryan DanielsonVery good match. Nice psychology with Shelley targeting Danielson's neck to soften him up for the Shellshock and Border City Stretch, while Danielson targets the arm of Shelley that he had injured earlier in the night. If not for a couple of mistakes by Shelley then I'd go slightly higher.***¾-****

ROH Pure Title Match
John Walters vs. Nigel McGuinnessBy no means a bad match, but I found it very difficult to get into.**½

ROH World Title Match
Samoa Joe vs. Doug WilliamsGood title match with Joe using his strikes to stop Doug's unique submissions rather then trying to reverse the holds. ***¼-***½
Ultimate Endurance Match for the ROH Tag Team Championship
Ricky Reyes and Rocky Romero vs. The Carnage Crew vs. Dan Maff and BJ Whitmer vs. Roderick Strong **¼
Overall: Show was pretty much what I was expecting. Punk/Aries, Shelley/Dragon, Joe/Doug were all good with the rest of the show (except Walters/Nigel) being pretty meh.

OK I'm uber-impressed with ROH's shipping right now. I ordered on Wednesday afternoon, and my DVDs arrived this morning [Saturday]. 4 days for international airmail is fantastic. Bravo, ROH! Now if you'll excuse me, I have a wrestling binge to attend to, with SCOH IV, 7th Anniversary and Double Feature lined up!

Very good weekend of shows just like most All Star Weekends with Night One surpassing Night Two with the three straight excellent matches to close the show. Don’t know why the Shelley/Hayashi match isn’t on PWG Sells Out instead of PAC/Hayashi.

Really. I live in the US and I have never had one take less than six days. They must not like me.

A wrestling match is like a balanced diet. The basics are carbs, keeping you going. Armdrags may not be the highlight, but they're key to the development. Dairy is emotion and crowd interaction, like bones, they strengthen the match, and in there absense, the it will fall apart. Meat is moves like suplexes and finishers. They’re cool, but if you rely on them you’d be unhealthy, and the matches unwatchable. Mat work is fruits and vegetables. We may not like them, but some is sweet chain wrestling. Last is spots and indy MoVEz~!, your sugars and fats. You can't just eat chocolate, and thus you need to do more than flips and head drops to get above ****.

Guerrilla Warfare Match for the PWG World Championship
Joey Ryan (c) vs. Human Tornado ****1/4This was pretty awesome. There were some pretty sick spots also. It was really good. Though, at the beginning, it was pretty hard to get into. It got a lot better though.

Overall, it was a pretty great show. One of the best overall shows that I have, to be honest. Worth picking up.
